高中英语文化教学近况调查及可选对策

2001年7月教育部制订的《英语课程标准(实验稿)》首次明确提出了把“文化意识”作为中学英语课程的教学目标之一。然而,在教学实践中,由于不同的教师对“文化意识”的理解不同,很多中学教师往往忽视了文化教学,课本上有什么就教什么,考试考什么就教什么。因此,对于在高中英语教学中应当如何实施文化教学的问题有必要作深入细致的探讨和研究。为此,首先从理论上探讨了文化与外语教学的关系,然后选取了临沂市沂水县一所普通高中高三年级的学生和英语教师,综合运用了文化测试、问卷调查和案例分析等方法,分别从学生、教师、教材三个方面深入调查了高中英语文化教学的现状,结合《英语课程标准》对中学文化教学的目标和内容要求,分析了高中文化教学中存在的各种问题,并且试图通过结合自己所在学校的实际情况,对高中英语文化教学策略作一初步的探讨。中学英语文化教学的最大特点是在语言教学框架之中的跨文化教学,“文化意识”不应当是排列在听、说、读、写之后的第五项技能的教学,而是应当贯串|语文教学论文|于语言教学的全过程。因此,中学阶段的文化教学必须和语言教学有机地整合在一起。基于以上观点,根据教学过程中不同的介入者,从宏观上把教学策略分为教的策略、学的策略、测试与评估的策略。具体地讲,中学英语课堂中的文化教学有五个基本策略:一是要激发学生学习目的语文化的兴趣;二是文化教学必须立足课堂课堂;三是必须通过接受性技能让学生习得文化;四是通过互联网让学生探索体验文化;五是通过让学生“提出问题”学习运用文化。【关键词】：文化教学文化意识文化教学策略国家英语课程标准
